Kenya, wildlife conservancy program

The trip was so interesting in terms of the diverse activities we did and the animals we could see. It was a dream to see the savanna and the animals, and we had the opportunity to do a safari in Masai Mara, which was amazing. We didn't expect to do that many activities, we visited tourist places in the first 2 weeks. The weather was great, sunny but not too hot, and then it became hotter and hotter, but still nice. The program with the giraffes was amazing, seeing these giants for real and in the natural environment is something else. They are such wonderful animals, and we are grateful to have helped with their conservation. The local team was helpful, kind, and Laban is the best guide! They made our experience in Kenya unforgettable and easy. We really appreciated the food, and the accommodation was great, except for some water issues but always solved in 1 day. Maybe updating some info on the website because it is written "no wifi" in the accommodation.

Kenya, Nakuru - Medical/Nursing Project

Anything was great, i could depend on Green Lion for everything. Because of the health-care situation in Kenya, I was in a little healthcare center, but i really enjoyed it, everybody was welcoming and friendly, i could learn about the culture, the people and their diffrent medical treatments.
The team was amazing, everybody was really friendly and i could spend the weekend with them to get a closer look into the communitys. They provided delicious food and if i was on a trip the hole day, they packed me lunch. The accomodation had some little flawys, but the team could always help. Everything went smoothly, thank you for this experience!
